strong leanings in that direction.I'd go so far as to say that she's not a vegetarian; she just likes
vegetables more than most other people. I once had an ad rep in my
office when I was running my vegan catering business. She said that
she'd been a vegetarian for 16 years. I told her how much I admired
her, said that I'd been nearly vegetarian for as long but that I'd never
been able to make the complete commitment, that I seemed to do better
with a little meat. She accepted the compliment. We went on to chat
about other things. The conversation turned to Thanksgiving when she
was having 14 people over. I asked her how she handled the turkey
substitution thing. She said that she was a vegetarian but that she
always ate chicken and turkey. At first I was waiting for her to start
laughing, but she was so perfectly serious that I couldn't say a word.Even funnier... years ago a bunch of us at work were discussing
vegetarianism and one guy said, in all seriousness, "Hmmm, I'm pretty
much a vegetarian except for hot dogs."I guess potato chips, cheese curls, and beer are vegetarian.
Depending on the brand of hot dogs he eats, he might have been closer
to being a complete vegetarian than he realized :>Sue(tm)
Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!
Oh ick--and funny. I am always reminded of a former coworker.
He went through a REAL vegetarian phase. He had a REAL snit
when he thought there was a speck of something or other in his
food. This was mostly funny because he later went back to his
omnivorous ways....
